No, you don’t win the money from beating the game. That’s wishful thinking. No apparently, you just have to be a genius with enough nerd cred to figure out this problem: ‘P=NP?’ (sic).

The article mentions things like polynomial time and nondeterministic polynomial running time. I’m sure if you’re Good Will Hunting this all makes sense to you, but unfortunately, it’s all goobleygook to me. Sorry, I don’t speak math.
